Increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide levels have risen by 30% in the last 200 years.

365 ppm
The IPCC projects that, if
unchecked, atmospheric carbon
dioxide concentrations
will range from 650 to 970 ppm
by 2100.

Global Ethic
Dependent Origination 1
1.
Old oral tradition:
Nescience – formations – consciousness – name-form – six bases – contact – feeling –
craving – appropriation – becoming - birth – aging-death
2.
New structural interpretation = showing suffering of samsara (impermanence):
Notes on the terms:
name-form
contact
Name-form = sense object
= dharma
six bases
Six bases = six sense organs
consciousness
Contact = contact of sense organ,
sense object and consciousness
feeling
Formation = function (karma)
Becoming = birth/aging/death
formations
craving
nescience
(karma)
appropriation
suffering
= samsara (flow)
Craving, formations & suffering
are called “three steps (sando)”
becoming
Nescience (existential ignorance)
appropriates body-mind as self,
birth/aging-death
involved in becoming (birth,
aging, death = samsara).

“holding forms informing norms”
Dharma
• A. Meanings of Dharma
1. Dharma = form = phenomena
2. Dharma = norm = law/truth
3. Dharma = teaching
• B. Dharma of all dharmas
•
(Law of all phenomena)
•
= Dependent Origination

(All phenomena Dependently Originated
on causes and conditions.)
